Bingo.

You’re too focused on a term :). The term blue chip is from an NHL perspective not a college prospect perspective. There can be many awesome college hockey prospects who are not considered blue chips.

That’s why I said a blend of high enders and role players

A team can’t have 4-5 blue chip 18 year olds and that’s it. Not in today’s college hockey. Need to have a blend of blue chips/higher end players and some overage grind players that wear a team down. Look at the last three national champions.

Hain is one of the rare cases that leaves MN HS Hockey to play for the NTDP and his draft stock is crushed

Weatherby in the 4th to the sharks...knew he’d go early

Who’s worried?

I was watching the draft, I was almost positive we were going to hear Tychonicks name second to last or last in the first. With all those dmen going I was shocked he wasn’t picked. I’m guessing they’ll be a string of Fs going early in the second. Congrats to JBD though! What is story with Wilde not going yet? Kid was a lotto pick 3 months ago. Both him and Blake McLaughlin both have CHL rumors, both were not invited (shockingly) to USAs summer u20 eval camp, and both just slipped out of the first. Although many scouts did have McLaughlin slipping out of the first.

Good deal

Hes not coming

Right. Now while I doubt hockey players could compete with football players (collectively) in these types of assessments, the gap will be wider now as the hockey players are much younger at the time of assessment.

Donavon has serious size though...and skates well. It will depend how he does before and after the HS season. Could be picked in the top 3 rounds next year if he does well in the ushl.

Randklev could be pushed back a year too.

I am a big stats guy. Always have been and I get fascinated with how players stats trend from one league to another (as they age). I have followed senden relatively closely and I can tell you there’s most likely a good reason why the coaches wanted him to go back another year. The ushl is a very tough league however senden can clearly use another year to continue to develop more on the offensive side of the puck. Some players never do (they hit a ceiling) however he has one year of eligibility left and he should definitely use it. College will get no easier.

Keane is coming in this year. Senden provides depth, pk and is a proven winner. I hope we still bring him in.

How many points did Connor have?

The team jost played on was juiced and was high scoring. The vees team this past year was balanced and played tough D.

It’s a very nice get.

Definitely a potential blue chip.

Not this upcoming year but next.

Rizzo locked down....nice!

Just call them what you want.

Wilkie was tied in goal scoring

Exactly blue chips, second rounders, third rounders whatever. Just get them to commit in piles im fine with the league leaders in ushl and bc (they’ll go late)...just get skilled kids. Top 5-10 in the ushl....where are they going?

When is the last time we had any? Mismash...and? However I’ll have to disagree with you. Mismash was solid last year. Elite? No. But he was solid.
